Actually we don't have any 'reset script' at all, just a simple perl
form mailer. Since submitting the comment card form opens a little
confirmation popup window what I think I need is something that sends
the form "reset" command back to the original page when the
confirmation popup loads. I'm just not sure how to construct the JS
code for it. What I think I need in the little popup window is
something like this...
<body onLoad="window.opener.form.commentcard.reset()">
Is that even close to the syntax construction for sending a reset
back to the form on a page (still open in the background) that opened
the new window?
